Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat

Hi.

I know this is a rather old thread, but I wanted to post my experience with this device too, as it is a little different from yours (and nearly everyone).

I also noticed right after I plugged the flash drive (Ultra Fit 3.0 - 32 GB) for the first time that it got insanely hot, even after transfering files from or to the device and having it ejected. This happened in every port in my desktop computer, 2.0 and 3.0. However, I brought the flash drive to work this morning and transfered over 25 GB to my work desktop (2.0 ports only). It took about 8 minutes to do it and it didn’t even get a little warm, nothing, which suggests that the problem has something to do with the ports the flash drive is connected to, and not only the the drive itself.

Does you drive get hot everytime or it depends on which port it’s connected to?
